Democrats Could Be In Store For A Rude Awakening

0Shares

The current Democratic playbook is quite clear: apply an all-out assault on President Donald Trump.

As such, the left believes the uncertainty surrounding Trump serves as the impetus to whip up fear and hysteria around his presidency, and the Republican Party as a whole.

However, Democrats continue to ignore a hard truth that’s staring them right in the face.

The echo chamber that they inhabit could leave them in shock and awe in 2018, just as it did this past November.

From LifeZette:

GOP congressional candidate Greg Gianforte body-slammed a reporter the day before the U.S. House special election in Montana and still won by 6 percent. Democrats should take that as a harbinger of political doom on a par with meeting the weird sisters or receiving a visit from Hamlet’s father. You need no ghost to come from the grave to tell you that when your policies are 6 percent less popular than misdemeanor assault, you need new policies.

But Democrats seem incapable of learning from elections. After losing the House, the Senate, the presidency, several governorships, and scores of state legislature seats over the past eight years, they continue to charge forward, propelled by the delusion that America’s heart beats for globalism, socialism, part-time jobs, and feckless foreign policy.

Meanwhile, once-influential media outlets have become nothing more than tabloid-style, anonymous-source-citing, Republican-attacking enablers, pushing clickbait headlines and irresponsibly spinning narratives that reinforce the delusion that Republicans and conservatives are a tiny fringe group of deplorable racists, xenophobes, and homophobes.

The new narrative emerging from the Montana special election is that Republicans should be spooked about the 2018 midterm elections. The fallacy-ridden logic is that seven months ago President Trump won Montana by a 20-point margin, but in the special election the Republican candidate, Greg Gianforte, only won by 6 points. Ergo, Montana has become 15 points less Republican than it was last November.

A CBS News article stated that “Gianforte’s single-digit win paled next to Trump’s 20-point romp in Montana in November, a sign that Republicans may have to work hard to defend some of their most secure seats to maintain control of Congress.”

Matthew Yglesias wrote for Vox, “If Republicans are winning in places like Montana by just 7 percentage points, then they are in extreme peril of losing their House majority in November 2018.”

[…]

It’s just the latest example of somebody screaming an election prophecy into the echo chamber and nobody bothering to notice that it rests on absurd assumptions and ignores important facts.

For instance, did the mainstream media forget that Gianforte has been on a Montana ballot before?

They’re dropping Kasich-wins-Ohio quantities of metaphorical confetti over Gianforte’s narrow 6-point win. They’re screaming, “Trump won by 20. Gianforte only won by 6. Montana is basically blue now. End of story.” The only problem is that when Trump won Montana by 20 points last November, guess who else was on the ballot that day. Greg Gianforte!

Gianforte ran for governor against Democrat incumbent Steve Bullock, and Gianforte lost by 4 points. That’s right! All those same voters who gave Trump a 20-point landslide on election day went right down the ballot and voted against Greg Gianforte. Gianforte lost by 4 last November but won by 6 points in the special election, so — by the logic underlying the media’s pretend political science — Montana voters are now much more Republican than they were seven months ago!

It has nothing to do with party. The media like to portray middle-American voters as a giant mass of idiots who can’t understand anything more complicated than “which political party do you like?” They want to create the illusion of Sesame Street elections brought to you by the letter “R” and the letter “D.” But, in actuality, voters are smart enough to differentiate between President Trump and other Republicans. The only thing this special election proves is that it is impossible to quantify feelings about President Trump using Gianforte votes as a unit of measurement.

[…]

Republicans control the entire state legislature in 33 states. That’s a full two-thirds! There are 33 Republican governors. Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. And there are more Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices by a 5-4 margin. Democrats would be smart to use that as a measuring stick for their popularity instead of a special election (that they lost) in Montana.

Left-wing policies are not popular, and they never were. President Barack Obama was popular. Democrats thought that Obama was the Energizer Bunny, and the party was the battery that made him go and go and go, but they were wrong. Obama was the battery, and now — thanks to our glorious 22nd amendment — they’re stuck. Consider a brief, recent history of U.S. elections.

The issue Democrats must reconcile with is what do they actually stand for? The party leadership can’t seem to decide.

Although Tom Perez is the chair of the Democratic National Committee, he does not have the energy, clarity, nor groundswell of support Bernie Sanders garnered. Perez said pro-lifers had no place in the party, which caused even dyed-in-the-wool leftist Sanders to lurch.

Sanders’s policies may be deeply injurious to the country, but alas, Democratic voters seem to feel he is the future of their party, which is why the party seems to be teetering on the far-left fringes.

During the campaign, neither Hillary Clinton nor former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz could express the differences between a Democrat and a Socialist; they were both asked this question by sympathetic MSNBC host Chris Matthews, and both fumbled through incoherent answers.

More demorats anbd journalists need to be body slammed. Lets make America Great Again Lets bring a grand jury in for all of the 4 Clintons, Clinton Foundation, John Kerry, Mccain, pelosi, Watters, Warren and lest we forget all of the Obamas. Lets not just investigate Pres Trump and company, lets do it right. Everyone above, except for Trump, have done 1000% worse and needs to be tried for High Treason and lets use the sentence reserved for traitors….hang em high

Any dems out there that voted for Bernie? How about you guys get together and SUE the DNC for violating their rules in assuring Bernie’s defeat. Actively assuring Clinton nomination by internal conflict is FRAUD, plain and simple. Sue the DNC for return of all donations of approximately 50% of the DNC who supported Bernie…that is donations for the last 4 years. Sue them for FRAUD. sue them as a CONSUMER…in fact you are a consumer when your money is sought for funding of political direction. You have the RIGHT to expect it to be spent and used according to the RULES of the party.

Sue the INDIVIDUALS in charge as well for FRAUD. Sue in each state..the local Dem party for being involved in the fraud and for allowing any of its funds or activities to be used by the DNC because of what the DNC has done.

Place any sane person in a jury and I guaranty you will win. They DNC deserves to lose that as well as a 100% penalty for fraud plus attorney and court costs. Chances are there will be a settlement of a class action before it even gets to court!

Oh the dems have a plan. Hitlery is out stumping her stupid ass again thinking that people are actually listening to her. All she is doing is letting every one know which party not to vote for next election. And that Tom Perez, what a big mouth with his swearing. That will get them somewhere….flushed down the toilet

America has awakened up to the enemy within, the devilcraps… These idiotic mean-spirited sobs, will suffer more than they can imagine come voting time. America will be “RED” again!!!!!!! Thank God for that ….. amen

fear not democrats your end is near and your party will join the dinosaurs of yesteryear in being extinct and only exist in history books and museums so people won’t forget your time even though it was stupid.

In other news it’s believed Billy Pig is lying in his death bed waiting for the inevitable with some rare STD they never seen before or even have a name for while Hillary is still hanging out at the hiking paths kicking over garbage cans screaming “It was my turn damn it”. and Obama travels the world with his wife Mike pretending to be President, sad very sad until he’s arrested and brought to justice which should be soon.

once the liberal dems , lose the Latino vote , and they are, why? because intelligent people who come to America, want better then they had. WHEN they realize the republican administration will help them get it . DT. will be the looking class they will use. GOD bless America.

The Democrats are throwing a tantrum over not getting what they want. The get the sense of their own popularity by surrounding themselves with like minded people sharing their psychosis. They are energizing the mob mentality, high in visibility but devastatingly low in productivity. They do not have a program. The rioters enthrone their idol on a parade float – and go where?
